Abstract excerpt
The xeroderma pigmentosum group D (XPD/ERCC2), a subunit of TFIIH, plays a critical role in nucleotide excision repair (NER) and basal transcription. There are hot spots of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) within the XPD gene sequence that have been incriminated in the pathophysiology of human cancers, possibly by altering the capacity of the cells for removing DNA damage induced by chemical adducts and UV...
